News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier
www.theguardian.com
News is bad for you. It leads to fear and aggression. It hinders your creativity and makes you sick. We should stop consuming it, says Rolf Dobelli, who's abstained for years

I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.

I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don’t change my habits much over it.

I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can’t think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.

    Honestly, I think half the US would be more informed if they never watched the news again.

    I mean what do you do as an alternative to staying informed if not reading the news.

    I agree with doing hobbies to increase your skills but doing that doesn’t keep you up to date does it?
